Call for Papers
Victorians Institute 1999
Virginia Commonwealth University
"Framing the Victorians: 1830s / 1890s"
The Victorians Institute announces a call for papers addressing either the
1830s or the 1890s in Britain. Papers may be textual,
visual, cultural or historical in orientation, and may address works and
issues relevant to either one of the decades that frame the
Victorian period. But we would also welcome papers that tackle the broader
historical problem of "framing" the Victorian period
as a whole. or that take the differentials between these two decades as a
single topic, perhaps in the diachronic manner suggested
by Kittler's Discourse Networks 1800/1900.
Papers will be delivered at the annual meeting of the Victorians
Institute, to be held at Virginia Commonwealth University in
Richmond, Virginia on October 15 and 16.
Please submit 250-300 word abstracts by 15 June, 1999 to either Nicholas
Frankel or David Latane at Dept. of English, Virginia
Commonwealth University, Box 2005, Richmond, VA 23284-2005.
